FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel 6-substituted acyclopyrimidine derivatives and antiviral agents containing the derivative as the active ingredients.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Infectious diseases caused by human acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is a type of retrovirus, have recently become a serious social problem. A compound of 3'-deoxy-3'-azidothymidine is known as a nucleoside compound used in the clinical treatment for diseases caused by HIV-infection. However, this compound has side-effects since it also exhibits considerable strong toxicity in the host cells.
Although some 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleosides are known as nucleoside compounds exhibiting an anti-viral activity, it is still necessary to develop a substance possessing a higher activity and lower toxicity to the host cell (Hiroaki Mitsuya, Bodily Defense, Vol. 4, pp.213-223 (1987)).
On the other hand, various acyclonucleoside compounds have been synthesized since Acyclovir (acycloguanosine) was developed as an antiviral substance effective against herpes virus (C. K. Chu and S. J. Culter, J. Heterocyclic Chem., 23, p.289 (1986)). However, no acyclonucleoside compound having a sufficient activity especially against retroviruses has yet been discovered.
We have focussed our attention on 6-substituted acyclopyrimidine nucleoside compounds and have synthesized various novel 6-substituted acyclopyrimidine nucleoside derivatives and screened those compounds to detect effective antiviral agents, especially to the retrovirus, in order to provide antiviral agents exhibiting an effective activity particularly against retroviruses.
Some 6-substituted acyclopyrimidine nucleoside compounds such as 6-fluoro substituted derivatives, 6-alkylamino substituted derivatives (DD-A-232492) and 6-methyl substituted derivatives (C. A. 107, 129717w (1987)) are known; however, the antiviral activity of these compounds has not been described.
As a result of our researches for compounds exhibiting an effective antiviral activity, particularly anti-retroviral activity, we found that specific 6-substituted pyrimidine nucleoside compounds according to the invention satisfy the above demand to achieve the present invention.

The compounds according to the invention of the formula I wherein R.sup.3 represents methyl or branched alkyl or --CH2--Z(CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sup.5 group where R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen, halogen atom, azido, alkoxy, aralkyloxy, optionally substituted aryl group or the like may be prepared in accordance with the following reaction formula (1), (2) or (3): ##STR801##
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, X and Y have the same meanings defined hereinbefore, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 represent a halogen atom, arylthio, alkoxy group or the like, and M represents an alkaline metal.
Firstly, the compound of the formula II or IV is treated with an organic alkali metal compound in an ether solvent such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran at a temperature of -80.degree. to -10.degree. C. for 0.2 to 10 hours.
Examples of the organic alkali metal compound include potassium bistrimethylsilylamide, sodium bistrimethylsilylamide and lithium alkylamide, and particularly preferred compounds among those are lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LTMP). Such lithium alkylamides are preferably prepared immediately before the reaction. For example, lithium dialkylamide may be prepared by reacting a secondary amine such as diisopropylamine with an alkyl lithium such as n-butyl lithium in a solvent such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and dimethoxyethane with stirring under the atmosphere of an inert gas such as argon at -80.degree. C. to -10.degree. C. for 0.2 to 5 hours.
The organic alkali metal compound is usually used in an amount of 1 to 5 moles per mole of the compound of the general formula II or IV.
Then, the electrophilic reagent of the general formula R.sup.2 X.sup.1 or R.sup.1 X.sup.2 is added to the reaction mixture in a ratio of about 1 to 5 moles to the compound of the general formula II or IV to allow the reaction under the same condition as in the reaction with the organic alkali metal compound.
The electrophilic reagent should have a group of R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 defined above, and examples of this reagent includes various diaryl disulfides, arylsulfenyl chlorides, dialkyl disulfides, dicycloalkyl disulfides, alkyl halides, aralkyl halides such as benzyl bromide, acid halides such as benzoyl halide and isobutyric halide, acid anhydrides and esters thereof, aryl-carbonylalkyl halides such as phenacyl chloride and the like.
The compounds of the general formula II can be prepared by a conventional method.
The compounds of the general formula IV can be prepared in accordance with the reaction formula (I) above (R.sup.1.dbd.H). ##STR802##
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, X and Y have the same meanings defined hereinbefore and X.sup.3 represents a halogen atom such as chlorine, bromine and iodine or sulfonyloxy group such as toluenesulfonyloxy and mesyloxy groups.
The compounds of the general formula VI are treated with an acid such as hydrochloric acid and bromic acid in a suitable solvent, for example, an alcohol such as methanol and ethanol and water at an appropriate temperature of from room temperature to 100.degree. C. to obtain the compounds of the general formula VII.
Then, the compounds of the general formula VII are reacted with the compounds of the general formula VIII in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a suitable base such as sodium hydride, sodium alkoxide, potassium alkoxide, potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate at a temperature of from ambient temperature to the boiling point of the solvent to obtain the compounds of the general formula I.
The starting compounds represented by the general formula VI can be prepared in accordance with the reaction formula (1) or (2).
When the objective compound has a hydroxyl group of R.sup.5 or when any intermediate compound of the reactions has a hydroxyl group, the reactions of (1) and (2) should be carried out using a starting compound or intermediate compound of which hydroxyl group is protected by an appropriate protective group instead of the unprotected compound of the formula II or IV or the like, and the protective group is then eliminated to obtain the target compound.
Any protective groups conventionally used for the protection of hydroxyl group may be used for this purpose so long as it is not eliminated under the alkaline condition.
Examples of such protective group are aralkyl groups such as benzyl, trityl, monomethoxytrityl, dimethoxytrityl and trimethoxytrityl, silyl groups such as trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl and t-butyldiphenylsilyl, tetrahydropyranyl group and substituted alkyl groups such as methoxymethyl group. Among those protective groups, silyl groups are particularly preferred.
The introduction of the protective group can be carried out by a conventional method.
For example, the introduction of the protective silyl group may be carried out by reacting the compound having the hydroxyl group with 1 to 10 times by mole of silylating reagent such as trimethylsilyl chloride and t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. in the presence of a base such as pyridine, picoline, diethylaniline, dimethylaniline, triethylamine and imidazole in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and a mixture of those solvents in any combination.
The elimination of the protective group may be carried out by a conventional method corresponding to the kind of the protective group, for example, acid hydrolysis, ammonium fluoride treatment or catalytic reduction.
The compounds obtained by the reactions (1), (2) or (3) which have a nitro substituted phenylthio group at the 6-position may be converted into the compounds having an amino group by hydrogenation in accordance with the reaction formula (4) below. The hydrogenation can be carried out in an organic solvent such as alcohol and acetic acid in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/carbon at an appropriate temperature of from room temperature to 80.degree. C.: ##STR803##

Inhibitory activity for HIV infection
In RPMI 1640 DM culture medium containing 20 mM of Hepes buffer solution, 10% fetal bovine serum and 20 .mu.g/ml of gentamycin, 3.times.10.sup.4 MT-4 cells (human T cell clone which is destroyed by the infection of HIV) were infected with HIV in an amount of 100 times as large as expected to cause 50% infection of the cells. Immediately thereafter, a predetermined amount of sample was added to the culture medium using 50 mg/ml sample solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide and the cells were cultured at 37.degree. C.
After 5 days of incubation, the number of existing cells was counted to determine the concentration of the compound for preventing the death of 50% of the MT-4 cells. Separately, MT-4 cells were cultured in the same way as above except that they were not infected with HIV to determine the concentration of the compound at which 50% of the MT-4 cells were destroyed.
Both results are shown in Table 2.
